Mmmm, donuts! Lightning fans gather in downtown Tampa for free treats

Mmmm, donuts!

Homer Simpson made that phrase famous, but the Tampa Bay Lightning and Dunkin’ Donuts put into practice this morning by offering up free treats and coffee in downtown Tampa.

The Bolts Breakfast, at Joe Chillura Courthouse Square, featured a 57-foot Lightning logo designed out of 330 dozen (nearly 4,000) donuts, and by 8:30 a.m., the fans flocking downtown put a serious dent in the offerings.

The Lightning Girls and ThunderBug were on hand to greet fans and fire them up as the team continues its Stanley Cup playoff push. The Lightning lead their series against the Detroit Red Wings, 2-1, heading into tonight’s game in Detroit.
